   While the snow did no favors for Cortex and he was beginning to loathe the sight of it all, One thing was certain; Dragons were quite insulated! The icy slush that poked between his toes didn’t really bother him all that much and elicited a scoff from him. Cool to the touch, yet it lacked the harsh sting that came with it. Either it was the fire in his belly or the scales that now coated him, one thing was certain. Dragons have it too good. Now something else rises up in his chest. The flames in his gullet? No. Rage? For once, no! This was... Euphoria? He flashes a toothy grin as wide eyes take in the sights of Golden ward. Giggling now, Cortex can’t help but run cheerfully on the icy ground, weaving through the traffic of the pedestrians. “Hahaha!! What... What is this?! Why am I feeling so jovial all of a sudden? I can’t even stand the sight of this ‘winter wonderland’ and yet-” Another burst of laughter escapes him just as he realizes. “Ugh. This is something that dragon feels often doesn’t he? It’s just snow! Nothing to get excited ov-” Then he spots it. The ‘Xtreme Ice Challenge’. “OOOH!!! Ice challenge you say~?!” 

   Trotting towards the boardwalk, he chuckles once more. “You’d better believe I’m going to- Nooooo! No.” Again, he stops his canter, his feelings conflicted at this whole ordeal. “I’m not going to partake in the frivolities of this ‘xtreme ice challenge’. It’s a fools errand!! Childish...” An attempt to ignore it is made and he turns his back to the boardwalk, eager to walk away. Then he turns back towards the boardwalk, eyes wide in eager amusement. “Yes... NO!! Yeeeee... Nnnnnn!!!!” As the onlookers pass by, they would see a dragon pacing in circles, looking quite merry one moment, then embittered the next. “It looks quite entertaining! I- RRRR!! No!! What is the matter with this Dragon?! I Refuse to... Skate on the ice as the claws allow me to glide and my wings help me- AHHH! NO! I WILL NOT- AHH!!” Seems that one onlooker has stopped to watch him in curiosity. “WHAT?! Oh...” Ah, he’s familiar with this one. One of the twins...

   “What do you want now? Here to watch me fight with myself?”
